Background
The documentary contains not only interviews with the band members, but from musicians within the Florida death metal scene as well. Webster explained: "I guess when you look at it, [if] you're really going to talk about any death metal band that's been around for as long as us, then you're probably going to end up talking about a lot of other bands along the way. All of us have done so many shows together, we've all recorded at the same studios, and we've all been friends with each other and that sort of thing. We've influenced one another. I'm really happy that there are all these other bands featured in it and talked about because to me it makes it more interesting because I already know all the stuff about our band because I'm in the band. It's a lot of fun to see like Lee Harrison talking about some of the Florida death metal bands that recorded at Morrisound Studio and that sort of thing. Denise just did a great job and that was all her doing, putting it together that way. It's cool stuff. The whole thing is really interesting. When she told me the first disc was going to be over three hours long, just the history portion [...] she was like, 'Oh yeah, it's a little over three hours.' Wow! Is there any way to make our band interesting for over three hours [laughs]? And she did it. A lot of that is by incorporating the larger story of American death metal." [10]
Former guitarist Bob Rusay did not appear in the documentary. In an interview with Blabbermouth , bassist Alex Webster was quoted saying, "As far as we knew he didn't want anything to do with the band anymore, and then Decibel wound up getting him and that was right toward the end of the making of the DVD. [...] They managed to get Bob to do an interview, so we reached out to him and [the documentary's producer] Denise tried to get in contact. She left a few messages and he never responded and we heard that he's still angry with us about the whole thing and wanted to leave it all behind him so we didn't want to bother him any further. He did the interview with Decibel and I think he wanted to leave it at that." [10]
